How to fix corrupted file from FTP transfer

Sometimes it happens.  I intend to send a binary file to an FTP server and forget to change the mode to BINARY before starting the transfer.
It’s really easy to do… and it was a natural habit type of thing back in the day when I used FTP frequently…
ftp www.xyz.com
user
pass
hash
binary
Simple and straight forward.  Anyway, I screwed up the other day and thought all was lost after a few .tgz files I transferred over to a server via FTP were not extractable.  I deleted my source before verifying my file transfers, stupid me.
Anyway, a tool that worked like a champ, Windows and Linux, is fixgz.  fixgz attempts to fix a binary file transferred in ascii mode by
* removing each extra CR when it followed by LF.  So if you ever get a corrupted file after transferring via FTP in the wrong format, give this a whirl.
fixgz.c
